"Greeting Quilties"





These are my greeting and birthday cards at the moment: patchwork or appliqué quilts, handmade, each the size of a postcard. The message is written on a piece of paper which is put into the little bag at the back of the "quiltie". 





May I suggest to NOT include anything like this in a birthday message: :-)
William Shakespeare
Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity?

but this one is good (for a person over - let's say - 54 or so):
William Shakespeare
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.
